I don't know how you can say it was easy. If you cross out six letters there's 11 left. That doesn't spell Bananas. If you mean pick out six letters it still leaves you one short. I actually try to work these things out which becomes very difficult if the clues are wrong. The idea was Ok however!

The answer I got was 'bananas'. At first I crossed out the letters of 'banana' (which has 6 letters), but then I was left with 'Sixletterss'. It was after that I imediatly re-read the teaser and then I noticed it said 'cross out six letters', so I did and I was left with bananas.
